Lawn care focuses specifically on maintaining your grass. This includes mowing, watering, fertilizing, and weed control to keep your turf healthy. Landscaping involves the broader design of your outdoor space. This includes trees, shrubs, flower beds, and hardscape features like paths or patios. Sunday specializes in lawn care with custom plans for Manlius's cool-season grasses.

For Manlius lawns, mow cool-season grasses to 2-3 inches tall. This height promotes deeper roots and helps grass withstand summer heat. Never cut more than one-third of the grass blade at once. This prevents stress and encourages thicker growth. Leave grass clippings on your lawn when possible. They break down quickly and return free nutrients to your soil.

Early spring is ideal to start a lawn care program in Manlius. This is when cool-season grasses begin active growth as temperatures reach 50-65°F. March to May is the perfect window to apply your first fertilizer and address early weeds. This timing helps your lawn build strength before summer heat. Fall is another excellent time to boost your lawn care efforts.

Manlius lawns often face these common challenges: Summer heat stress when temperatures rise above 80°F, causing browning or thinning grass. Lawn diseases like brown patch or dollar spot, especially during humid periods. Shade issues from trees that prevent grass from getting enough sunlight. Winter damage from freezing temperatures and snow cover. Weeds that compete with grass, particularly in spring and fall.
